MANILA — An inter-agency task force was recently created to institute policies and processes to address bottlenecks and gaps in the country’s infrastructure development, according to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).<\/p>\n

NEDA Director General and Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said the Project Facilitation, Monitoring and Innovation (PFMI) Task Force is composed of economic and major infrastructure agencies.<\/p>\n

The task force’s steering committee is comprised of NEDA as chair, the Department of Finance (DOF) as co-chair, Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Office of the Cabinet Secretary, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Transportation (DOTr), and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).<\/p>\n

To facilitate infrastructure development, Pernia said the NEDA is discussing with oversight and key implementing agencies the enhancement of the NEDA Board and Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) project screening guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of a more efficient planning and programming process of the government, programs, activities, and projects for inclusion in the country’s Public Investment Program must be examined early on and screened through a more rational and methodical process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The NEDA chief further said the final version of the guidelines would help the government identify the appropriate procurement modality that is favorable to both the government and the public.<\/p>\n

The guidelines will help government address, minimize, if not totally avoid, issues in implementing projects that can be attributed to poor project planning and programming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
